I love the outdoors--running, road biking, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, camping, etc.
I also love to make things--woodworking, gardening, cooking.
I love movies and attending film festivals.
I aso love graphic novels. I especially appreciate memoirs in graphic novel form.
Travel is also a huge part of my life.
